Fire Door Repairs

Following the fire door inspection in your facility, you will be provided with a detailed list of deficiencies that will need to be repaired. We offer fire door repairs based on NFPA 80. Common minor repairs include:

• Gap adjustment

• Installation of smoke seals

• Hinge replacement

• Silencer replacements

• Strikes for locksets and panics

If the fire door cannot be repaired, our expert technicians will assess the door and provide the necessary information for you to make an informed decision about complete fire door replacement or major repair.
